What type of connector does it have to connect to the Onkyo receiver? I can use RCA connectors or HDMI but I can NOT use a Universal Connector

I'm afraid you're out of luck JB. The UP-A1 Dock uses the Universal Port Connector.

You have to have the special connection in the back of the receiver. I have an Onkyo TX-SR507 with the upc, if your receiver does not have this forget it, the UP-A1 is worthless to you.

Helllo JBMy Onkyo receiver is the HTR990So it has a special plug for the iPod dockIts not RCA or hdmi , you have to have a receiver that's iPod direct .Or what I used to do is plug into headphone jack and then use RCA cableBut you have to operate iPod with handYou don't get picture on your tv and of course the fancy matching base

I assume you have an Onkyo receiver and that it is a model that will work with dock. If so you will find a separate port in the back of the receiver that the dock plugs into. It looks like an ipod connector but it is not. Unlike the answer below, itf you have an hdmi running from the receiver to your tv you will get a picture and can navigate with your Onkyo remote control. You will get better fidelity with the Onkyo dock than the suggestion from Bert.

I believe that the display port does not output sound like a HDMI port does. You would need to get the sound to the onkyo another way.

Don't know. Call Onkyo customer service. I called them 4-5 times and they are very helpful and knowledgeable as the handbooks are 80 pages long and easier to call them than read the manuals in depth.

You need to upgrade to a A/V receiver that has HDMI. You don't need to buy a really expensive receiver either. You can purchase an Onkyo 605 for $400.

Hi,You can use an XLR or 1/4 inch cable - its very easy ... just need the correct cable - it is maybe $3-7 for the cable - if your receiver has RCA outputs then you need a cable that's RCA on one side and 1/4 inch on the other.Please let me know if you have any other questions.My very best,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

I would suggest checking with Onkyo Tech Support. Hope that helps! Good luck!

The Receiver for the Onkyo 5100 does not support audio through HDMI,it is pass through only for video.You must use an optical cable for audio.

There are 5 ways to input: coaxial, optical, 1/8" analog, USB, and Bluetooth. From what you describe, you should only need one connection from the tv (presumably coax or optical). All of the other components send sound to the tv and the tv will send it to the Onkyo.

You can only use mono-plug RCA to RCA cables with this amplifier. If you are using a receiver as a pre-amplifier, it should have audio outputs with mono-plug RCA to RCA to connect this amplifier. For example look at the rear connections of Onkyo TX-NR929 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver , the section marked as PRE-OUT in the rear of the receiver are all the mono-plug RCA to RCA outputs you need to connect your amplifer

In your case disregard the cable box and use your HMDI cable to pair it the TV. Now take your Optical cable to the TV and pair it the Onkyo. Then take the coaxial cable from the DVD and pair it to the Onkyo. And you are done. If you need to attach a game console, which you did not mention, you will need a optical or coaxial splitter.

You will need the Remote Control code list that was supplied with your until from Onyko. I no longer have mine as I did not set my unit up to control any other component. Every manufacturer has a specific remote control code for their model unit. I would contact Onkyo customer service at 210 785 2600 and asked them for the code for your make and model tv you are trying to connect to. Sorry that I could be of no further assistance.

I just bought this unit, so I can understand the question. It is really quite simple.There are three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output on the Onkyo HT-S5100 (also tons of other RCA, etc. inputs, no problem there!). The HDMI output feeds into the TV, of course. But I found I needed to connect a cable or an optical cable to the back of the TV in order to feed the audio back into the Onkyo amplifier. Now EVERYTHING sounds great!

James, not familiar w/ that reciever, the onkyo speakers probably would work well with your reciever, great speakers.

Onkyo has a support website with user manuals available by model number: www.onkyousa.com/support I used the advanced manual for the TX-NR535. In the contents, look up Advanced Settings, Section 12, Network Setup. Basically, when using an HDMI connection and onscreen display (factory defaults), use the remote to select RCV, scroll to Setup, press enter, scroll to Network Setup, press enter, scroll to WiFi, select enter, then finally select WiFi to OFF and select enter. Now connect an Ethernet cable to the rear of the receiver and allow it to find your network. Good luck!

I used a HDMI cable for mine. Best connecting to make on that TV. I Actually ran through a audio receiver but u should have enough room on the tv

The receiver can't put up digital sound to another zone. If you want sound, you must connect receiver to TV through standard RCA cables. Plug only red/white connectors, you don't need the yellow one because picture goes through your already installed hdmi cable.
